webdriverio: MultiRemote capability does not work with webdriverio v5 but works with webdriverio v4

Hello, I have somehow the same issue.

We are using WebdriverIo v5 and browserstack, it works fine locally and on browserstack but we are recently trying to use multiremote and not sure why but it keeps trying to connect to selenium-hub. The function below returns the config, we are using for remote.

We have a function that connects to browserstack-local

async function startServer() {
  const spinner = ora(chalk.cyan('Connecting to BrowserStack')).start();
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    bsLocal.start(
      { key: bsKey, localIdentifier: commit, forceLocal: true },
      // eslint-disable-next-line consistent-return
      error => {
        if (error) {
          spinner.fail(chalk.red('Failed to connect to BrowserStack:', error));
          return reject(error);
        }
        if (commit) {
          spinner.succeed(
            chalk.cyan(`Connected to BrowserStack with identifier: ${commit}`),
          );
        }
        resolve();
      },
    );
  });
}

We created a dedicated function to create the client for mulit-remote

function setBrowserstackClientForRemote() /*: Array<?Object>*/ {
  const RESOLUTION = '1920x1080';
  return [
    {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      options: {
        capabilities: {
          os: 'Windows',
          os_version: '10',
          browserName: 'chrome',
          browser_version: '80.0',
          resolution: RESOLUTION,
          project: 'Atlaskit Webdriver Tests',
          build: BUILD_BRANCH_NAME,
          'browserstack.local': true,
          'browserstack.debug': true,
          'browserstack.idleTimeout': 300,
          'browserstack.localIdentifier': commit,
          user: process.env.BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME,
          key: process.env.BROWSERSTACK_KEY,
        },
      },
      services: ['browserstack'],
      logLevel: 'error',
      user: process.env.BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME,
      key: process.env.BROWSERSTACK_KEY,
      waitforTimeout: 3000,
    },
  ];
}```

@mgrybyk Any chance we can re-open this to resolve the issue with it not working when browserstack.localis present?

If not, I can create a new ticket and reference this one.

Works fine now after creating the project from scratch as told by @mgrybyk . Thanks.
